SANDRONE BAROLO LE VIGNE 2017

The 2017 Sandrone Barolo Le Vigne is a testament to the mastery of Nebbiolo and the artistry of Luciano Sandrone. Sourced from meticulously tended vineyards across Barolo’s esteemed crus, this wine exudes elegance, power, and nuanced complexity that unfolds with every sip.

The nose greets you with enticing aromas of dark cherry, plum, and rose petals, layered with hints of licorice, leather, and a touch of truffle—a classic bouquet that captures Barolo’s essence. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied, refined experience with velvety tannins and a vibrant acidity that gives the wine balance and length. Savory notes of earth and a whisper of spice add depth to the ripe fruit, culminating in a long, structured finish that echoes the character of its terroir.

Pair this Barolo with rich dishes like braised short ribs, truffle-infused risotto, or even classic Italian osso buco. For a unique pairing, try it with Korean galbi jjim (braised beef short ribs) or soy-braised pork belly, where the wine’s tannic structure and deep flavors beautifully complement the rich, savory profile of the dishes. Enjoy now with some decanting or cellar it for a decade to experience its full evolution.

Recommended drinking window: 2028 – 2048.
